A certain building with a lot of fire.

There's a parking garage I just found next to Milton General Hospital that's got a series of traps and a nice surprise at the end lol. Thought that was well done. Can't think of any others atm.

Cambrigde Polymer Labs

?? ah, Gary... +1 for that. And +1. And +1...

there is a quest for spectacle island

To prevent any spoiler I will refer to my favourite settlement simply as "The Boathouse".
Because it reminds me of a hunting cabin I used to own on the Susquehanna river a few decades ago.

Ghoul strip club, the gentlemans bar where everyone suicides, and the blow up doll factory.

Goodneighbor, the Glowing Sea, and Kingsport Lighthouse

I found that Gentleman's bar just this morning - disappointingly small, but I do love those little areas that exist just to give an isolated story.

Still, over 200 hours in on my main character and I haven't found the other two!

The Race track, sadly you cannot gamble on the robots.

Just from a well made and simple but cleverly made location / experience was for me: Thicket Excavations.

First time around you plug some leaks and you know that there is more to be done here.

Second time around either by preston sending you there or as it where in my case, very late in the game i remembered to go back and check.

And i got a very nice surprise =)

Dunwitch Excavation- spooky , Glowing sea- postapocalyptyc feeling , Parsons state insane asylum- remind of Outlast

Glowing Sea, Spectacle Island, and

After hours of debating myself on locations, ive come up with these top 3


1. The Castle - who doesnt love a good castle

2. Downtown - there is always secrets around the next corner

3. Pickmans Gallery - creepy as he**

Dunwich Borers has been my favorite location so far.


Others of note was the mayor shelter, and that site in the glowing sea (it was massive) a lot larger than I initially thought.

in no particular order

starlight drive in such a wide relative open sand box to build your perfect settlement

the roof of any high building in downtown boston forthe views

boston ruines at night i love stalking supermutant and raiderr prey at night

trding on a vertbird , the views

the castle because it felt like a great archiement

Museum of Witchcraft

The Glowing Sea

Supder Duper Mart

All of them gave me a great experience in their own way. All very (in)tense!

The Ruins of Concord + the Museum: mostly because it was my first large scale fight.


Gunner's Gallery (?): can't remember if this is the right name but it's a heavily guarded building with a ton of gunners inside and a broadcast room in the center. Great sense of accomplishment for how far I got in without detection.


The sewer near downtown with the detective / horror story.

Museum of Witchcraft! So very well done... (and usually I don't like scary locations! lol)

Cambridge Polymer Labs - I like the moments when you are being treated like it's business as usual and the war never happened. Time stood still for some of the Mr/Mrs Handy that are still around.

Yangtze - pretty cool location and story. Love the whole dialogue there.

The U.S.S. Constitution! Love old sailing vessels!

Pickman's gallery was great, too. There are so many small and large locations that are so very well done in this game.

An unmarked parking garage that has been turned into a gauntlet of death.

Or Fallon's department store, with all the escalators and stuff.

I could go on and on.

The parking garage with all the traps that seems like something out of Saw.


Red Rocket gas station because of the South Park episode.


The Halusinagenics inc. lab because drugs are awesome.

So many great locations to choose from, but here's the three I came up with:


1) Spectacle Island (the biggest settlement location in the game)

2) The Institute (Aesthetically only, as there's really not that much to see of action)

3) East City Down - a robot racing track (featuring a lot of robots with ridiculous names, like The Boston Blaster, Iron Maiden, Piece O' Junk, etc)

Pickman's Gallery is probably my favorite so far. I wish the whole game had that kind of atmosphere.

Glowing Sea was kinda neat on first visit, but I lost interest really quickly. They could've done a bit more with that.

Moving around downtown is cool too.

Although in Fo4's defense, the vaults in Fo3 almost felt like a gimmick. Like someone wanted to add something goofy and insane just for the heck of it. FNV was better, and Fo4's vaults have very believable experiments. Honestly, my complaint is that there are so few of them in Fo4 - and we miss out heavily on the "typical" vault feel in 3 of them.

Vault 111, 81, and 114 are a very tame, leaving only two other vaults that are done "proper".

Anyways, on topic: Trinity Tower (love the vertical level design in this game), the nuclear cache in the glowing sea, and the USS Constitution.

My favorite place is my 6th floor penthouse on the top of the overpass at Finch Farm.

I made it without walls, just railings for safety, so I can enjoy the 360 degree view both night and day. It is truly fantastic.

My second favorite place is .... any place I haven't been yet. I really love exploring a new place.

The glowing sea - just perfect IMO


Mass fusion building and trinity tower - I love fighting my way up and down a skyscraqer.


Ludowskis cannery - basemant was surprisingly creepy.
